Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by Alexandra K. against a decision reducing her family pension. The lower courts ruled that the claimant's second wife, Anna K., voluntarily chose a lower pension over a higher one, which the Social Security Office then adjusted. The Supreme Court held that the statutory right to choose between concurrent social security benefits is an autonomous power of the individual that falls outside judicial review.
